+# Purpose
+
+This Go binary performs basic network diagnostics on a set of hostnames, useful for checking connectivity to dependency containers.
+
+## Usage
+
+1. **Build:**
+   ```bash
+   ./build.sh
+   ```
+
+2. **Set Environment Variables:**
+   * **HOSTNAMES:** Comma-separated list of hostnames to check (e.g., `database,redis-server,api.example.com`)
+   * **FAIL_ON_ERROR** (optional): Set to "true" to exit the program immediately upon the first ping failure.
+   * **COMMAND** (optional):  Set to "entrypoint.sh" to execute an additional script on each host.
+   * **ERROR_COMMAND** (optional): A command to execute if a ping failure occurs, useful for automated error reporting (e.g., `go-glitch report-error <hostname> 'Ping failed'`). 
+
+3. **Run:**
+   ```bash
+   ./host_check
+   ```
+
+## Output
+
+For each hostname:
+
+* **DNS Resolution:** Success or failure, with resolved IPs if successful.
+* **Ping:** Success or failure, with ping statistics if successful.
+* **Custom Script:** Output of the `entrypoint.sh` script, if executed.
+* **Error Reporting:** Output of the `ERROR_COMMAND`, if set and a ping failure occurs.
+
+## Example
+
+To check connectivity to "db-container" and "webserver", execute an `entrypoint.sh` script, and report errors to go-glitch:
+
+```bash
+export HOSTNAMES="db-container,webserver"
+export COMMAND="entrypoint.sh"
+export ERROR_COMMAND="go-glitch report-error <hostname> 'Ping failed'"
+./host_check 
+``` 
+
+**Important:** 
+* Make sure you have a `build.sh` script in your project directory to handle the Go compilation process.
+* You'll need an `entrypoint.sh` script if you want to leverage the `COMMAND` functionality.
+
+Let me know if you'd like any other adjustments to your README!
